Why would the Rangers want Hoffman? Makes no sense.

 

[Dubcanesfan]

Rangers? Weird, don't think a rebuilding team would go for a player like that. Preds makes more sense.

 

[BKarchitect]

The Rangers "rumors" are confusing. Kreider on the block yet chasing after a worse, way more one-dimensional winger in Hoffman who is two years older, has same term and costs more?

EDIT: Sorry...Eklund...I know...

 

[uncleben]

This one frankly makes little sense for New York
They need to commit to a rebuild if they're going to rebuild. Don't go half in

 

[braindead]

Hoffman and Turris on the same team again.... mmmmm, not buying it.

maybe they need a stop gap player or player that will help the rebuild process

So sign a guy or 5 in the offseason
Don't pay for a near prime player at the TDL

Makes sense for the Rangers to go all in.

yeah that makes sense

Yeah same, certainly not without a long conversation with Turris first.

nope.

 

[Waivers]

I don’t get it.

 

[One Winged Angel]

I don’t get it.

The Rangers do not need to go trading assets for Hoffman, who doesn’t fit into their trajectory and direction and also has one year left after this one.

Hence why I said, “I don’t get it”

 

[McSuper]

Makes no sense for the NYR . The trade Zuccarello who is a scoring winger only to go get another ? Not buying it

 

[Hint1k]

Make sense for Rangers if their following up move is to trade him to Tampa.

Haha that would be so poetic

 

[Alluckks]

Rangers get Hoffman and retain 50% (his contract runs through next year) to flip him in a package with Hayes for a good bit more than they paid.

 

[patnyrnyg]

Only way this makes sense is if it is part of a 3-way deal or if they are taking him to help Florida clear cap space and are getting an asset to do so. However, looking at capfriendly, it doesn't seem like the Panthers are in need of relief.

At what cost? They would have to give up significantly to get Hoffman.

 

[slg1963]

No thanks

 

[patnyrnyg]

Thinking it is the Islanders and Predators. Eklund heard, "Nashville and New York..", stopped paying attention and forgot there are 2 "New York" teams in the league.

[Matty Sundin]

Eklund should not be considered a credible source in 2019

 

[Mats88]

Texas Rangers maybe???
